Carlos Burgos

Carlos Martyn Burgos (born 1978) was brought up within two cultures -in the United Kingdom & El Salvador - that helped fuel and form hisimagination and outlook of the world around him, his work shows thecombination of these two worlds.Carlos M Burgos is a figuarative artist exploring aspects of the waywe live and our emotions. But not necessarily the obvious outwardappearances and goings on, but those within. An often surreal look ofhow we interact within this environment with traces of satire. Carlosoffers an alternative glimpse of the urban world around us. Imagesthat manifest themselves through our feelings, opinions and socialenvironments but are not always acknowledged. A conceptual realism.Presenting the world solely from a subjective perspective, distortingit for emotional effect to evoke moods or ideas, meaning or emotionalexperience.Drawing inspiration from social history, literature, music,conversations and general popular culture. Fusing elements of theclassical, the expressive, the sureal, beauty, darkness and his loveof the human form.
